Yes Folks, it is true. We are taking a VACATION! We are leaving the valley and going somewhere without a vegetable to harvest, an animal to feed, or a weed to pull. The farm will be in good hands though. We have some very kind people lined up to stay at our place, take care of the animals, milk the goats, water the vegetables and maybe even get in a little extra weeding. People ask if I'm excited about this time off. My response is that I haven't had time to think about it yet. There's too much work to do around here to get ready to leave. However, after I wake up from my post farmers market nap (more like a "crash" than a nap), I'll be at a nice resort in the mountains with a hot tub and I'm sure I'll quickly remember what it's like to relax.
So, I here you like the carrots...
Ah yes, they are good! And they get even sweeter as the weather gets colder. This variety you are getting is called Scarlet Nantes. We've been growing these carrots for a few years and they have become a favorite to everyone who tries them.
So many crops are just about ready to harvest. You'll likely have tomatoes in a few weeks, also basil, French fillet beans, and beets. We found many more caterpillars in the greens this week. They may be on their way out.
Have a great week and enjoy your veggies!
Tara
